Every newborn/ baby needs this product
I purchased this product for my daughter's baby shower, and it is so useful and the quality is perfect. I love that you can warm a bottle quickly, but it also has an option to sanitize bottle nipples and in my personal opinion it also sanitizes pacifiers. I can't count the number of times when my girls were babies and they would constantly spit out their pacifier for it to land on the floor and I would have to sanitize it again, many times a day. Yes I had more than one sanitized pacifier, but I always waited until a had a certain quantity of nipples and pacifiers collected prior to doing a sanitizing routine, which back in my day it consisted of boiling all of them in a pot of water, so the convenience of being able to quickly sanitize a pacifier or nipple is great in this product. I some how always was down to my last sanitized pacifier or bottle nipples at the most inconvenient times, like a 3 am feeding, or out visiting family or friends. This product is small enough to fit into a diaper bag when going out of the home . I definitely recommend this product for new parents or baby gifts, the price is great and the different uses you get out of it eliviates having to have more than one product on your counter. She told me she never realized how much it has come in handy

Easy and functional
Works great and quickly. About 30s to a good temp. Only downside is that you have to be exact with the water you put in or be aware how long you leave it in. It's also difficult to remove the bottle from the heater as the exterior gets very hot quickly even if the inside is a regular temp.Still, it's great to make sure baby isn't wide awake from a cold bottle at night, and doesn't need more than a bottle of water and something to take it out with to be useful.Very easy to use.

Works well for dr brown bottles
Works well but make sure you read directions because it can get really hot and burning if you put too much water in it. Also once it's turned on it will turn off when done but you can't turn it off manually. Not a bad product but really only works with dr brown bottles. (We use the 5 oz wide mouth ones). Easy to use with only one button.

Great and an FYI
Easy to use and works well. However, as with any product like this, cleaning can be difficult due to hard water. I know I could use distilled water instead of tap in this product, but don’t want to purchase something separate. I cleaned the product using a vinegar solution and my husband gagged at the smell! Just be aware as you will and should clean the product.

Hazardous steam heat
I cannot for the life of me understand the overwhelming majority of reviews that gloss over how dangerous and wildly ineffective this product is. I purchased it to use with the wide Dr Browns 5 oz glass bottles hoping to warm premade formula and breast milk stored in the fridge a little faster than a hot water bath. On first opening I was surprised to find instructions that detailed heating times only for a narrow range of liquid amounts and bottle sizes. Note this product seems like it will not fit a bottle larger than 5 oz. If you’re in the newborn phase where your baby is cluster feeding in smaller amounts than the full bottle you will be playing a game of chicken as you try and find the correct amount of water to add to the steam reservoir to not end up with a scalding liquid. Most times the bottle will still be painfully hot to remove even with the basket included as the handle is short and fits very close to the bottle for the wide sizes. The insert for the basket also requires some more potential for burning as you have to apply significant force to put the bottle into the basket and pull to remove the bottle as well. While you’re fumbling around trying to make this work you will notice that the small insert for measuring water does not rest flat on any surface and is set into the body of the device such that you end up spilling a fair amount of water. This is annoying because it depletes the distilled water you likely use to make your bottles and sterilization work and adds clean up time. You will likely end up using an alternative measurement method as small differences (I.e. 2mL) in the water level will result in substantial temperature increases.While this device can heat your bottles to warm very quickly you will end up having to wait half the time for the bottle to cool from molten lava temperatures to grab the bottle. In the end you might try to brute force this to work for you, often times burning yourself just to end up waiting to cool a bottle twice the time it takes to heat up water in a microwave and dunk a bottle in it to heat. If you’re like me you’re more likely to let it sit in a corner gathering dust and look for an alternative that doesn’t involve burning yourself or wasting your precious time.

Dr. Brown’s Bottle Warmer – A Must-Have for New Parents!
I love the Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer! It heats bottles quickly and evenly, which is perfect for late-night feedings. The digital timer is super easy to use, and it remembers your last setting — such a time-saver. It works great with different bottle sizes, not just Dr. Brown’s. Compact, reliable, and very safe. I don’t know how I managed without it before. Definitely a must-have for every baby registry!

Okay bottle warmer but...
Okay bottle warmer. Not a fan of this bottle warm model and the settings. I definitely like the older models. I use this at a daycare I work at and not everyone follows the directions. Very easy to burn the bottom if water is not put before every use because the amount required is so little. Overall I would not buy this again.

Effective Bottle Warmer
Cheap, effective bottle warmer. You easily pour some water in the measuring slide that’s location on the back, and then pour it directly into the warmer. We’ve been using for the past 6 months for our baby and it’s been working great. The color is good, matches our kitchen. It’s an easy, cheap bottle warmer. I recommend it.
